So much science behind it - it works for lots of people and is worth giving it a try!

I use it and have been since August 2016. It fits easily into my busy life as a working mum, I don't have to think about organising lunch every day at work. I also know I am getting more nutrients from the shake than I was from the rubbish I was grabbing. No one bats an eye lid at grabbing a coffee and muffin for breakfast…

Great run! I hope to get to those times one day......!

Thanks everyone!! I do have a 10k in mind in November which should give me enough time after the long summer holiday to still be ready for it. We have a 4 week break planned in Europe so I will do what I can but won't stress about it if I can't run 3 times a week like I do know. I'd be thrilled to do it in 50 minutes too,…

I suffer too, mainly hormonal or lack of sleep. I take sumatriptan which seems to clear it within 15 minutes as long as I've taken it as soon as I get me warning signs. I find that a can of red coke helps too, the caffeine in it reduces the blood vessels and the throbbing, it doesn't always work tho. I'm going to try the…

I did it!! 28'C and 92% humidity....sunshine too! I ran 5.68km in 35 minutes so I achieved my goal. Now to think about the 10K !!!

The run is at 8am and if it's like today it was 31'C and 80% humidity so am hoping for some light rain on Sunday! I too have been lifting and found recently that running after a lifting day was hard, I did think it was just me! I was squatting 60kgs so around the same as you. I am focussing more now on upper body weight…

Thanks! I did wonder this morning if I could possibly even start to replace what I had lost in sweat! I will definitely have to drink a lot more, it wiped me out today. I have begun to really enjoy running and don't want to head indoors to the treadmill and air-con so will just need to learn to adapt. Thanks for the…

Well done everyone! I've got my first race this Sunday, it's 5.6km. I can run it in about 35 minutes usually but recently the humidity here in Hong Kong has been up at 90%! When I ran at 5am this morning it was 28'C and 91%, how do you manage to keep going? I really struggled with it today.

I bought a small bar and dumbbell set at Walmart. It's very convenient to be able to use the plates between the 2. I've slowly been adding more plates as I've needed to increase weight. I've only spent about $100 for everything. I don't have a squat rack and have reached a point where I can no longer easily get into squat…

Finished this morning with my 5K in 31 minutes. First 5K race on the 23rd June, really looking forward to it too! Now I'm moving onto the bridge to 10K. I never thought I could do 5K and never in my wildest dreams did I think the 10K would ever be an option but its onwards and upwards!

I am almost done with C25K and was never a runner before. I would stop at least every minute to catch my breath. It has really helped me and am now running for 28 minutes without stopping. It may also be something that can help? I am not too sure how elevation with affect this, my route does have up and down hill too but I…

I use my fitbit and also runtastic, this morning they were both almost exactly the same! I checked my fitbit before I started and also when I ended. Am going with the assumption that they must be somewhat near to accurate.

bump....I have the same question!

I'm doing C25K on the rest days and I am in Stage 1 still. I know it says no cardio but at the moment I still feel I need to be doing something.

I'm all signed up too, have been waiting for what seems like ages for it so start. I love how our first assignment is to track food too. I feel that the course is really going to let me look closely at what my family and I eat and how to make the best choices.

I am having 2 removed in a couple of weeks, 1 on my back, 1 on my chest area. I had been wondering exactly the same with hat I can and can't do. I will be having stitches, usually I have had about 3 for each mole that I've had removed. I currently follow the NROL4W and C25K, I was worried about having to stop for a week…

I've just started this as well, 10lbs till my goal weight. I'm not sure if I will loose the weight as such but if I can tone up and drop a dress size then I will be more than happy with that. I am trying to stick to the calorie reduction of -300 calories based on the book.

Thank you! I wasn't sure if there was one specific place where people went to or whether just searching each move was the easiest way.

Bump!

Yes please! Am hoping to be getting a new FitBit and was wondering how it would work with using the spreadsheet

I'd love to join you! I'm following JMBR, I'm working in phase 2, weeks 7 and 8. Im also in week 2 of the C25K, I downloaded the NHS app. My schedule is: M- JMBR T- JMRB W- C25K Th- JMBR F- JMBR Sa- C25K Su C25K I know I need a rest day and I take one when i need it so not every week looks like that. I have about 8lbs to…

I just made a batch of chocolate and banana protein muffins for the freezer. I'll defrost one overnight to grab for breakfast. I found them at: http://www.homebeccanomics.com/2011/08/17/chocolate-banana-protein-muffins/ Mine work out around 130 cals each and 4g of protein as I didn't add the nuts.

I follow the same and eat the same calories everyday, including my rest day as as far as I know, scooby's takes into account the exercise for the week. If I do more than what I had inputted ( 3 hours a week) then I do eat those back. I input my exercise on here as only burning between 1-10 calories as I know they have…

I'm in phase 2 - I did workout 7 yestereday. Wow! Again, I agree there are no words, but it gets a little better after the first circut. I think I like Cardio 2 better than Cardio 1. There is something about the suicides that makes me happy not to have to do them anymore. Also, since this is my 3rd week of Cardio 2, it's a…

Thanks! I try not to run with water but maybe I will give that a go and see if it helps. Its reassuring to know its happened to others too.

Hi Sue, I'm also here in HK and see where you are coming from! I find it very expensive as well to be eating things like greek yoghurt everyday and lots of meat! What plan/exercise are you following?

I'm in phase 2! Did workout 7 today for the first time......there are no words! I may be doing an extra week of this set as I am no where near up to it !!!

I currently weigh 133 pounds and my TDEE is around 1900 depending on which calculator I use! I am working on TDEE - 10% as I have about 8 more pounds to go. I do Jillian Michael's Body Rev 6 days a week and I eat 1700 cals with my macros set at 40%c, 30% f+p. I do find it hard to hit that protein goal quite a lot! I don't…

wow, that is amazing! Congratulations, you are looking really good!
